Santa Paula Citrus - Shaving Soap

"So so" scent to be honest, but why do all shaving soap companies want to use Cedar(?) - Cedar Oil is what is typically used to de-flea animals with! Gross! To be fair -- its very citrusy, with a hot spice smell -- but the Cedar kills it. Sorry again... Another scent that should not be included in the sampler pack - its simply NOT that good.

Smells just like the orchids. Bitter not sweet. Smells like maple syrup when O used witch hazel after.

I really like this scent and the performance of this one. I only get chisled face products now and here are my takeaways and input on this product.
Having exclusively used these soaps for over a year now, the Santa Paula soap seems to lather a little more easily than other soaps in your product line. That is using the same technique of a brush and lather bowl along with same amount of water and effort.
I find this one to lather up to a nice creamy consistency faster and with less effort.
The scent is pleasant and not overbearing. The wife gives it an "acceptable" rating on scent.
My skin is sensitive and is often a little irritated after shaving. I go old school with a hot shower, 99% of the time just using water to pre hydrate my face just before instead of pre-shave oil then lather.
When I have the time I use others for some variety, except that cryo soap. That one is just barbaric with the menthol.
Hopefully you guys continue to roll out new soaps as customers we love your products?

At opening, the bitterness could be overwhelming the orange scent... but, after lathering, the bitterness gets sweeter and only then, it's like if you smelled a fresh-seized orange: a really good surprising effect !
The lather is easy, the cream is protective. Good glide.
Nice job !

The Santa Paula line of products are incredible. They’ve managed to capture the deep, earthy, natural scent of an old orange tree. The shaving soap easily produces a thick, slick, and protective lather. Now to find the Santa Paula scented after shave balm.
